Grandma Lucy's Pot Roast treat is
a big hit in my house. It's the bet you
can't eat just one maybe two.
They are the special reward. Just opening
the bag she races over and sits perfectly
waiting for one. Amazon has never let
me down. Great products and service
all the time.My dog loves her Tiny Tidbits Treats, we keep one in the car and one in the house for her.

I am a veterinarian with 7 years experience, and I have 3 Great Danes. I am always looking for safe, effective, fun, and innovative new pet products. I saw the video for this product, and definitely agree that carrying a pocketful of crumbling treats isn't much fun for training/rewards, so decided to give it a try. All 3 of my girls tried to bite the bottle at first (and I think most dogs will), but within a few seconds, all of them figured it out, and were licking away very happily, each taking their turn sitting down for me. I also recently used it to help keep them standing still while my 8 year old daughter gave them baths outside with the hose on a nice warm day....much less mess than doing it in the tub inside! It was also handy when we went for a short hike at a local park a while back, as I am training the 2 younger Danes to wear backpacks (that's a whole other story!). Even if the dogs jump in the river wearing their backpacks and get them soaked, their treats won't get soggy. The only thing I would like to see is using a liquid treat that's maybe a bit healthier for them...the ingredient list on the Lickety Stik looks like a lot of processed stuff. It does have a bit of an odor, too, but I didn't find it that strong or offensive like some of the other people here did. And I think it's the odor that really draws the dogs to come check it out...otherwise, why would they want to just lick a plastic roller ball?
Also, I think it would be nice to have a bottle that is just a little bit larger for the large/giant breeds like mine...but this does work well regardless. Finally, I think it would be great to have a refillable bottle, so there would be less waste...500 licks goes fast when you're training 3 big dogs!
Oh, and yes, I will re-order this, and do recommend it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine ProgramSince neither of my 2 dogs can write about this new Lickety Stik, I will do my best.
A new idea for treats is always welcomed. We had 3 flavors of Stiks, Bacon, Chicken and Liver. We tried all three on both Sundae and Casey. Sundae licked all three and seemed to like them all. Casey, however, wouldn't try any of the three, just turning his head in apparent disgust (lol). Having had dogs my whole life, you never can tell what a dog will like or dislike. I didn't give this 5 stars, because of some functional reasons, not because Casey didn't even try it. First, the lick ball is exactly like a deodorant ball. As a matter of fact, the container reminds me of an Arrid Rollerball Deodorant bottle exactly. It doesn't move freely by just licking, you have to gently squeeze the bottle for the liquid to be available to the dog. If you squeeze too hard, it drips onto the floor. Other than that, it seems to be enjoyable. It is supposed to be healthy, but I had to use a magnifying glass to read the rather small label.
The video is one of our taste tests. Hope you enjoy it.
Update July/September 2012: Sad to say both my beautiful puppies in this video have passed on. They were both 12 years old.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program UPDATE 10/28/2011It's been several weeks of using it and there is still a ton of licking left, definitely getting my moneys worth out of this treat.
Another thing that has been nice is the ability to keep this in my pocket without making a mess. So going for a walk with it has been nice (and a great way to keep his attention when there are other not well behaved dogs around).
UPDATE -
Well the puppy dog has spoken... he loves Lickety Stik!
When we first presented it to him he was a bit unsure and tried to bite the stick which was kind of cute but he quickly realized he had to lick it.
Now every time the Lickety Stik comes out as a reward or to teach him something, he just can't wait to lick the bejesus out of it.
Not only does the dog love it and responds really well to it, it's made in the USA!
This is a very unique, clean, easy to use, easy to carry, and fun treat for your dog. I would highly recommend this to most anyone. Way to go PetSafe!
Honest reviews on PetSafe Lickety Stik
*disclaimer* I was sent this item to review.
Izzy, our mini schnauzer, is very food motivated. Schnauzers have a tendency to get chunky though, so rewarding her with food every time she does a trick is a balancing act between giving her something she likes but not having her snack with treats all day.
At 1 calorie per 10 licks, along with a fun interactive way to give her the treat, the lickety safe is fun and healthy. She had no trouble at all figuring out how to lick the deodorant like ball. This would also be a nice travel treat in the car because it closes up and you don't need to get treat on your fingers to give it to the dog.

My trainer gave the Lickety Stick to me to use as a tool for distraction for my Standard Poodle, Billy. I loved this product and it worked well with him for several years. Two weeks ago, I was sitting in the car with Billy. Someone walked too closely to the car and anticipating Billy's barking, I quickly pulled out the Lickety Stick. Billy took a few licks, then popped the roller ball top off the bottle and swallowed it. We drove immediately to the vet, who told us she would not consider retrieving the ball because of possible damage to his throat. She was also concerned about bowel obstruction. We spent a week worrying about Billy, but he eventually barfed up the ball. I am thankful he didn't have to endure surgery. The Lickety Stick had been a great tool for us, but I cannot recommend it to anyone because of the possibility of the roller ball popping off.

Review of The Original N-Bone Chicken Large 6.5 Inch Single
List Price: $6.72
Sale Price: $3.49
Today's Bonus: 48% Off
I have two dogs with sensitive stomachs and allergies, so normal raw hide bones cause them to get sick. Other non-raw hide, natural bones my dogs can devour within minutes, they are heavy chewers. These are great because they don't make my pups sick and it takes them 30 min or more to eat the larger bones. Also the price is wonderful, at petsmart they charge $15-$24 for the larger varietys. Definetly will order these again, and again!

This a good treat and my dog loved it, but Sergeant is a very strong chewer. He finished it in about 10 minutes and was asking for more.I'm looking for something tougher.

My dogs get these every year for Christmas and their birthdays. When we bought the first one for our first dog, he went crazy for it. He usually just eats treats without a big deal but with the N-Bone, he wouldn't let it out of his sight. He even wanted to take it outside when he went potty!Honest reviews on The Original N-Bone Chicken Large 6.5 Inch Single
I have two standard poodles....one of which can mow down any bone in about 20 minutes flat. What's nice about this bone is that....not only does she NOT mow it down in 20 minutes...but it must taste so good to her that she'll come back and pick it up again later and work on it some more. Both of our poodles will do that with these. They don't do that with any other chew/bone product. They either lose interest or chew it a while and never touch it again.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for The Original N-Bone Chicken Large 6.5 Inch Single
My dog obviously loved her new bone but it lasted less than 5 min. I give her a bone when I leave to keep her occupied since she has separation anxiety. She finished this bone before I had a chance to get out the door. In my opinion this bone costs too much to last such a little amount of timeReview of PetSafe Wall Entry Dog Door - Large

I put this in the wall of my house in about an hour with the help of my friend. It looks like a professional did it. My dog learned how to use it by himself in a couple of days and now he has free reign of the house and to get outside. He loves it.

The following is a combination of opinion and some factual matter.The telescoping sections don't meet in the outside wall of my house which uses 2" x 6" (actually 1.5" x 5.5") studs.
The molded plastic which appears to be ABS is a bit thin. The outside section broke away from the house in -40 degree weather. I have a "dog house" built onto the outside of my house which is open on both ends with a plastic strip door on the outboard end and this pet door on the inboard end to keep winds
out. This door replaced an older brand that was actually larger than this door and I only have a couple of Border Collie mixes from a shelter. I'm not sure if larger dogs would be happy with this product. Shelter dogs are the best.
The good news is there are two clear flexible flaps one on each of the two telescoping sections to provide additional weather protection. On several occasions the magnets on the two flaps stuck to each other rather than returning to there home positions, thereby holding the door open allowing wind to enter the house. This may have something to due with the size of my dogs, the speed at which they use the door and temperature which can affect flap flexibilty.
This is a real nice $69.95 item. As a business owner, I'm all in favor of profits for all involved in the product. This item seems to have plenty.

Discount Smokehouse Resealable Bag
This was the 2nd time that I ordered the Smokehouse USA Chicken Stix. The 1st order had USA printed right on the bag, this one had a USA sticker over the China sticker. In addition, the product looked entirely different. Obviously I am concerned. I pay more to ensure I am not feeding my "fur kids" products from China. If it happens again, I'll stop ordering all Smokehouse products on-line.
that will cause them to have skin problems. This was my second order and I highly recommend them.

My dogs are picky when it comes to treats. They will not eat these chicken sticks. They love the Chicken Chips by the same company, so thought I would try the sticks, but it did not work.Buy Crinkits Water Bottle Toy - Green
We have only had it 24 hours but most "durable" toys last 10 minutes or less. I expected it to be loud but it is not. Worth the price!
We have spent way too many dollars on other toys that have ended up in the trash, if this new toy maker has other toys, they'll be the ones we buy from here on out and none others.

We have a 11 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback, and at 80 lbs, she has gone thru many many toys that have touted to be durable and "chew proof" . What I loved about this toy was that it not only smelled great...a nice vanilla scent..but that we got to use our recyclable water bottles that our pup loved to chew on anyways. It's easy to use, pop in the bottle and off you go. It works great for toss and retrieve, or for the dog to carry around and chew on as she walks. She loves noisy toys and this is a perfect answer to her self entertainment, the more she chews, the more it crunches. She has tried to do her normal eviscerate of finding the weak spot on a toy, and was unable to do so on this toy, even when she got her snout into the open end where the bottle get inserted. She was unable to tear it up. We've had it for two weeks and it looks like new out of the box, even with it being her current toy of choice. As with all chew doys, it's important to not leave your dog unattended with toys, but I feel more secure on leaving her with this when I am not in the room as it shows no worse for wear or any weakened areas where she has chewed thru.We have spent way too many dollars on other toys that have ended up in the trash, if this new toy maker has other toys, they'll be the ones we buy from here on out and none others.

Great for any kind of stuff toy. Put your toy in the freezer after you've stuffed it to make it a little trickier for your dog to empty it.
I don't know that I'd use it with an overweight dog--lots of calories. There is a reduced calorie version for Senior dogs, but it's not always to easy to find.
Look around and you will be able to find the regular flavors in bulk for a much better price.

All 3 of our dogs love the various vitamin-enriched "tasty pastes" available through Kong. Although they loved to chew on their Kongs before, we found that they really got into it once we started inserting some of the paste into the Kong cavity. All of them go nuts when we put down the "pasty Kongs" for them to enjoy and enjoy them they do!I would highly recommend all of Kongs' "tasty pastes" it's easy to use, doesn't seem to make a mess, and is a great extra treat for dogs. Our 3 give it "2 paws up"!

My dog takes supplements everyday and has for many years. Used to use peanut butter and have used all types. Never really liked doing that because of all the sugar in it. Have tried spreadable cheese too but it's too rich for her system. So saw this while ordering other Kong products and thought I'd give it a try. She's always a little combative but she takes them none the less using this stuff and it doesn't mess up her digestive system. Texture is a little runny even though I refrigerate it but still able to coat her pills well enough with it.Honest reviews on KONG Stuff'N Easy Treat, 8-Ounce, Liver

Although the product can be a bit pricey, it can be worth it. I put a Kong liver snap treat (KONG Stuff'N Snacks, Liver, 11-Ounce, Large) in the Kong (KONG Classic Kong Dog Toy, Large, Red) first, then "anchor" it with the liver paste. I stick the whole thing in the freezer for a few hours to a few weeks, until I want to give it to my dog. Freezing makes it last 20-30 minutes instead of the 20-30 seconds it would take her to empty the Kong if it wasn't frozen.She is terrified of thunderstorms, and will keep us up with pacing, barking, howling and whining if not distracted. This stuff will distract her from ANYTHING. Then I can sleep...ZZZzzzzzzzz.........
